Thanks for posting this
odinthor. It's been a looong time...years even...since we visited the Los Angeles Stock Exchange Building on NLA.
I think the average person might not even know it's there because it's rather difficult to see.

I know
GW...the trees! the trees!
so you don't have to
Anywhoo...
The tower portion of the building is so far back on the property it's virtually impossible to see from anywhere along Spring Street.
I think the architect had to avoid building it over the massive trading room floor.
The trading room
sans support columns.
They didn't want the tower to come crashing through the trading room ceiling.
(I'm kinda' making this up)
and speaking of crashes...the 'Great Crash' happened
three days after construction began. (true!)
